That whole "not a programmer" section -- missed opportunity for uv run from GitHub URL.... which works. Including dependencies.

Try it:

  uv run https://raw.githubusercontent.com/konstin/say-hi/refs/heads/main/say-hi.py

Look ma, no installs, no pip, no requirements.txt...

Friends tell friends:

  uv run

Infuriatingly, ChatGPT doesn't allow you to easily export your data from Business accounts (upgrades from personal accounts) like it does with personal or Enterprise accounts. I built a little tool that lets you get the data out. Might help someone out

I found myself in a similar boat (converted a personal ChatGPT sub to a Business Account shared with my partner). I ended up using Claude it write a chrome extension to just walk every chat in the side navbar and dump it to a sqlite database (when I then used for my own RAG purposes). Thanks for publishing your work.

Would you mind opening it to the public? We’d be okay making modifications for our use cases, so dumping the code would be fine.

The more crazy is that even for a personal account, there is not a single button that would allow you to copy a whole chat or do something like export it in pdf, html, markdown, ...

Claude at least seems to let you download your data quite easily
